Enrique DeSoto

Enrique DeSoto (1888-1914) was a Mexican criminal from Nuevo Paraiso.

Biography
DeSoto was born in the town of Chuparosa to a poorer family, and his father was a known bandit. When he died in 1901 in a shootout with the Federales, Enrique became his successor and carried out heists against the banks and wagons. In 1911, aided by American cowboy John Marston, he stole a wagon loaded with provisions from the town's market and evaded lawman Eduardo Valladolid, and made off with the provisions after paying Marston his money.

In 1914, DeSoto was captured by Federales while fighting with the Rebeldes against the Mexican Army and was sentenced to death by hanging. His hanging took place at El Sepulcro, where he was buried.
